Coordination Polymers Utilizing N-Oxide Functionalized Host Ligands

Tuning the coordination chemistry of cyclotriveratrylene ligand pairs through alkyl chain aggregation

“…Tripodal derivatives such as those shown in Scheme 1 are chiral. The self-assembly of derivatised CTVs with metal cations is well established, and coordination polymers, [35][36][37] discrete metallocages, [38][39][40][41][42] and mechanically interlocked architectures [43][44][45] are known. However, the chemistry of mixed ligand systems is generally limited to the solution-phase, and we have recently demonstrated how the formation and manipulation of homo-and heteroleptic [Pd 6 L 8 ] 12+ octahedral cages can be controlled with high fidelity.…”

Controlling the assembly of cyclotriveratrylene-derived coordination cages

“…One of the two 1 ligands is colour-coded and all solvent molecules and anions are omitted for clarity. 33 cores in a manner similar to that described for the smaller [Ag 2 (2) 2 ] 2+ capsule. Each [Ag 4 (3) 4 (MeCN) 4 ] 4+ tetrahedral assembly is formed from a single ligand enantiomer, in spite of the racemic mixture used for self-assembly, and is therefore homochiral.…”
